Nothing like a good apocalypse story to drift off to sleep to.

What's fascinating to me is that everybody who survived this, and every other hardship, are the ancestors of everyone alive, today. We are the lucky ones.

The music guy on this series went HARD.

I understand his fascination with the mid sixth century catastrophe, but the fact that he works on a computer from the same century is dedication to craft.

"if we were faced with a global event in the future it's not quite clear how we would cope". We would cope poorly, Prof Mike. We would definitely cope poorly.

I cannot imagine what my ancestors had to do to survive that eldritch horror of a year

You have no idea how often I think about this year of no sun! I struggle with my mental health and another disability, and whenever I'm having a bad day and feeling a bit "woe is me", to give myself a bit of a reality check I remind myself that no matter how challenging my life is, I'm not dealing with those same struggles during these times! Undoubtedly everyone living back then had other struggles going on, and the starvation and no sun would have just made it all so much worse!

I recorded this video on VHS cassette tape when it first aired on PBS in 2000. Hard to believe it's been 22 years.

Having read and studied climatic events,solar minimums,volcanic eruptions for almost ten years now the analysis done in this video has been the best I’ve seen thus far.I appreciated the thorough analysis without biases and independent scientists worldwide who provided their own research.I wish more of these types of videos will be more like this.Thank you.

I live in Aotearoa (New Zealand). A few years back the fires in Australia caused the sky’s here to turn red.
I can not explain just how red it got, and just how quick it was. You could watch the sky’s getting redder by the minute.
It had blown over the ocean. Irs amazing just how powerful the climate is.

Makes one realize our survival on this planet is due to a pretty narrow set of circumstances. We could easily encounter natural events that resulted in us being wiped out completely.

It's currently believed that three major volcanos - all unknown - went off in sequence, with one of them triggering this particular crisis. Before things fully warmed up again, another volcano went off, and then another a few years later. So there was an extensive period of chill, from 536-560.

Keys did the work to put the answers where they are needed--A lot of persistent work went into this. Excellent Documentary

The consequence was written by David Keyes (Copyright 1999) "Catastrophe. An Investigation into the Origins of the Modern World" Arrow Books Limited 2000. Excellent book! Sometimes he wrote exegerations, but I think his book shows true events and root case.

Mt. Tambora’s eruption in 1815 caused the year without a summer. In 1883 Krakatoa erupted with an explosion that could be heard for a few thousand miles and it also caused weather disruptions.

I've always thought that this was the inspiration for the Norse Ragnarok, which, according to the Edda was to begin with a three year long winter.

Its so hard to find the perfect voice to completely ignore while I lay down - but this narrator's got it.
